4. Always ask for a portrait picture

A model just answered your ad and is available for the service that you are offering? First step: ask for a portrait picture. By asking for a portrait picture, you will have an idea of the current hairstyle of the model, hair colour, length and thickness of the hair.

The picture that you received is not clear enough? Feel free to ask for a better one.

If you are planning to practice short haircuts, ask your model for front and back pictures. You need to make sure that you will have enough hair to work with.

Qualify your model by asking as much questions as you need to.

Here are some examples:

What style do you have in mind?

How short are you willing to go?

Are you quite flexible with the style/length/colour?

Is it your natural hair colour?

When was the last time you cut/coloured your hair?

Is your hair naturally straight, wavy or curly?

Be clear on what you willbe practicing and what final result you will be aiming for. You should also inform your model on how long the service will take; as you want your model to allow enough time for the service that you will be providing.

Minimise the risk of cancellation.

Confirm with your model 1-day prior the appointment. If a model turns you down once; you shouldavoid rebooking this model, as it is likely that they will disappoint you again.

6. Keep a record of all your hair models

You have just finished your model’s hair and you are satisfied with the result, then take a picture.

Get a diary and write down the name of your model, the date, what techniques did you used, what you learn. You will be building a database of models that you could reuse in the future.

The models that replied to your ad

Make a list of the models that respond to your ad. You might need their contact if your model cancels at the last minute or for future sessions.
